True Winter - (Four Seasons) by Q K Petty (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Five hundred years ago, the Chains of Peter vanished-relics so dangerous they can shatter a soul or save it.

Now, the chains have resurfaced in Mobile, Alabama, and the House of David-a secret society sworn to contain cursed artifacts-is hunting them down. Leading the charge is Judge Eden Dowler-ruthless, loyal, and haunted by the sins of his past.

Eden has a plan: recruit his estranged half-brother Orion Bachman, the perfect candidate for the House-smart, strong, and unbroken. Convince Orion to join, and the chains are as good as theirs.

But the House of David isn't the only one after the chains. A shadowy enemy called Seditio will stop at nothing to claim the artifact for themselves, even if it means tearing Eden's family apart.

As the lines between protection and corruption blur, Eden must face an impossible choice: Will he guard his brother's soul, or forge him into a weapon for a war that may never end?

True Winter ignites A Series of Four Seasons-a relentless blend of urban fantasy and psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and James Rollins.

Enter the hidden war. Claim the relic-or be destroyed by it.

Review Quotes

"Petty's story flows with purpose and power, immersing the reader in adventure, conspiracies, and crisp, vital action, all without relying on adventure-tale clichés. Writing compelling fight scenes can prove challenging for even the most experienced authors, but Petty demonstrates a sure hand, capturing violence and suspense with crisp clarity and inventive wit. That action, while rousing, is always tied to character. Petty is unafraid to be grisly in these scenes that highlight Eden's acceptance of death through and willingness to kill to protect his brother and the people around him.." -Booklife Review (Editor's Pick)
